Summary:

"eLife supports the sharing of research data at the time of publication if not before. To enable the community to derive greater value from this shared data, we are interested in helping researchers improve its quality. Open Knowledge International (OKI) develops technical solutions to make it easier to share reusable data, and the organisation helped us understand the reusability of data published on eLife through the application of its goodtables analysis tool. We found that researchers tend to present data with a view to a human visually inspecting it. The reusability of datasets shared with eLife could be improved by helping researchers to prepare data in machine-friendly ways, where this is appropriate."
